UNSTOPPABLE LOVE Guest, Marjie Barbier December 28, 2024
Certified Massage Therapist, Surf Instructor

I am a free spirit. I love the water, I love to surf and teach others how to surf. I get so passionate to share my love of surfing and the ocean with others, especially other women. It brings me great joy to show women how to navigate the ocean and flow with the waves in each of our own unique ways.

A bit about me:

I grew up always the last one to get out of the water, whether it was a lake, pool or the ocean. The water has been my special place, the one place where I can always go to feel totally free and to be me.

When I was 17 I moved to Kauai with my sisters and I went to massage school and fell in love instantly.I knew right then and there, I had found another passion. When I’m not running surf retreats or with my daughter I spend my time doing bodywork. I love connecting with others from a present space.

Love you ALL, Let's SURF

Breaking the Silence Guest, Bob Williams December 22, 2024
Founder and CEO of Ranch Hands Rescue

Bob Williams is the Founder and CEO of Ranch Hands Rescue. After suffering a stroke in 2007, Bob decided to retire from Motorola. After a year of rehabilitation, he decided to start a not-for-profit organization that would save animals and help people. In 2008, Ranch Hands Rescue was born, and a farm animal sanctuary for animals with special needs was established. In 2010, the Ranch Hands Rescue Counseling Program was started. Bob's vision was to partner abused and neglected animals with individuals by using Equine and Animal Assisted Counseling in an effort to help individuals who don't respond to traditional therapy. His counseling program is the only program in the country that partners abused and neglected animals in mental health therapy. Bob's passion is helping innocent victims, especially children, who require a nontraditional approach to uncovering severe trauma. He assembled a team of counseling experts who are highly trained and certified in trauma and PTSD to be another resource in our community to help individuals who are suffering and see no hope.

One in Argyle, Texas and one in Denton, Texas and serves the entire Metroplex. Bobs personal story as a survivor of rape, addiction, homelessness, and his story of rebuilding his life along with his passion for helping others is why Ranch Hands Rescue continues to grow. 5 Time Emmy Winner Doris Roberts said “He was one of the most incredible speakers I have ever heard, his honesty and his passion is contagious.
